I always wondered about these biographies that are written by people close, that is, a relative, to the person being written about.

In some cases where there has been bad blood, one expects the work to be nasty, but when there is a normal relationship between the parties does a biographer really stick to the truth, especially if it is negative?

On the other hand, would the writer spice the work up with a bit of truth bending, towards the negative, to make the book seem more believable, or to make it more salable?

I say this because, let's face it, we live in a negative society where a person's faults are the focus of our attention.

If I can play dime store psychologist for a moment I guess the reason for this is that if we can find faults in others our own might not seem so bad or uncommon.

Here's the skinny on how the Madonna biography came about and what you can expect in the book.
